Angry truck driver in Himalayas wanted to hit a car

We were going from Manali to Leh. When we were descending Rohtang Pass towards keylong side, A truck was coming from the opposite direction. Crossing a vehicle coming from opposite direction is always a challenge on narrow mountains roads. Everyone keep patience in any of such condition. But we found a crazy, impatient and angry truck driver who was in very hurry and even tried to hit us two times. I was continuously abusing us. Rohtang pass is famous for its deadliness. This video is also helpful tin understating that how we can drive safely on mountain roads with the help of dipper. Please share your comments.

Poor tourist you dont the road rule in Himalaya. It is not Delhi and Bombay where you keep on moving, breaking signal,beating horn unnecessarily. This is Himalaya and you should not mess with the road here. You are well aware that the truck is moving up and road is muddy, slippery,rough and watery. Obviously the truck deserve to move earlier. If your common sense worked at that time you would not posting this shit. Anyway you are new face in Himalaya so you dont know. But bear it whether the road is bad or good normally the smaller vehicle should be stayed aside and allow the heavier to go. In your case it is a heavy vehicle and coming up so at least you could spare a minute there..anyway stay blessed and dont play with truck driver they are all Sunny Paji. Hope you will follow Himalayan rule next time….

Here is many comments and, some of them say they are uneducated ,it’s a bad true but, they aren’t untraind in driveing on indian roads .because, they whole life driving and driving over there .a long time they are far from his family and friends no enjoyment no rest and too much crruption in our transport department so they little bit angry some time .

Here some of them says you should beat them. suppose you beat them or say some thing bad ,then , he just touch your car and he lost his front bummper’s paint only and you and your car what about the next …….

Thats India , people use dipper for something else Truckers dont even know what it means

Driving in North India is vastly different from driving at southern parts. If you want to get a real taste of driving in India start with places like …

Varanasi/Agra/Lucknow… Then move to Kolkata/Mumbai/North Delhi.. Then start off with Hyderabad/Chennai Goa…Pondicherry… You will leave with a better memory, you are always welcome here no matter how crazy people are.

If driver would have passed from beside u, truck would have fallen side ways on ua car and u along with ua car wud have been crushed below it. trucks are taller and relatively unstable. see the video again and u will observe that truck driver was nly driving on the even path of the road in order not to lose balance. U shud have been wise enough and understand that. In between when someone from ua car got down and started guiding u, there u could have taken ua car to extreme right corner and truck wud have easily passed from ua left. Physics bro.

Dont mind but there is a simple rule which everyone follows in hilly areas , Always give way to the vehicles which are ascending as its more difficult to reverse a vehicle while ascend as brakes may not function and vehicle may roll back. Trucks are heavy vehicles with a lot of load in container , which makes it more difficult for truck drivers to control while reversing. That driver was also following the same , and i guess he was expecting from you that you know this thing.

yes nothing wrong with him, but some times I feel in high altitude that your license plate matter. example if you are driving in uttrakhand with up number plate you will face more difficulties. there was sufficient space for truck. but normally heavy-duty vehicles drivers wish to avoid such conditions. coz the load, momentum and balance.

ridiculous video, Titled and explained like a terrorist attacked you. Its tough for truck drivers to drive trucks in hilly areas and they cannot stop as they are loaded. And he never tried to hit you if he wanted to hit your car he would have. I have been to manali a million times and the only annoying thing is the tourists who dont know when to stop where to stop or how to driver here. No offense. And as far as abusing is concerned only one solution grab him by the collar get him out of the truck and teach him to show some respect Indian style.

Dear guys , everybody know how to drive a car but some of us don’t know how to drive a loadedtruck ,in this video the truck has 160 horse power ingine and it looking loaded. when truck go towards height and it’s tyre need more power and when we give acclirator full and then it’s tyre make a lot vibration , and in this video there were rain and truck driver didn’t want to go to the corner of road because it cause of a bad accident

What i feel is that.. May be the truck was loaded with some stuff.. And he had a fear that the strech might submerge. So out of that fear he must have not taken the pass. And the second case is that for the truck drivers its really hard to drive on cut to cut margin. But ofcorse yes abusing was not apt at that point. Bye the way u reversed really nice. Coz its really tough to do so.

I can’t say anything about Truck Driver, they are poor and frustrated by missing their families. but I appreciate your patience and decision. It shows that sometimes we have to ignore such things and do what is best in that particular situation.

Till the time you’re driving on the outer side i.e. cliff edge side… you need to be more careful. that’s what the truck driver wanted to range advantage of. Please give that benefit to him. if you noticed the first truck that passed had its right rear wheels half in air. in case that slipped. .the game’s over. not sure what SUV you’re driving (seemed like Scorpio or maybe better) … be careful with these "I’m big n you’re small" thinkers. Happy Driving!

Very unusual to enter into a traffic brawl in a narrow dangerous & slippery terrain road. Kudos to you to have shown patience and endure Truck Drivers abuse! Keeping your Mind cool was the trick! Never lose patience and drive emotionally in a hilly terrain or else where, even in a city like Delhi and Mumbai etc. Nice to learn from your experience! You are the HERO!

I think there was nothing wrong with the truck driver.Ypu must have imagine the size of the load and shape of the road. Trucks are carrying much more (ratio wise) than cars so we must help them to make a way. If you want to travel you need some empathy and patience. . Thats all
